In Professor McGonagall's office, Kyle said innocently, "But Professor McGonagall, we just sold some things. We didn't violate any school rules."

"This is what the principal asked for."

Professor McGonagall said with a straight face, "He thinks you should read more books at this time, or practice wand gestures to prepare for the exam, instead of focusing your energy on other things."

"That... okay, I get it."

Kyle sighed and didn't argue any more.

It's just solitary confinement. As long as he is not asked to refund the money, everything is fine.

After coming out of Professor McGonagall's office, the six of them looked at each other and sighed.

"Take it easy, guys."

Fred and George, who had extensive experience in confinement, were the first to return to normal.

Fred smiled and said, "At least Professor McGonagall didn't ask for a refund or deduct our points, which is a rare thing."

"Yeah." George patted Cedric on the shoulder and said, "And it's good for you to experience the feeling of being locked up."

"Merlin's beard." Fred said with an exaggerated expression, "George, I just realized that except for the two of us, everyone here is a good student."

"Yeah, Fred, compared to them, we who are often put in solitary confinement do seem a bit out of place."

George squeezed out two tears and said, "They won't look down on us, will they?"

"Why don't we go back and read now while there's still time."

“Try to get more “O” grades in the final exams.”

"That's too difficult, let's go with 'e'."

The two of them spoke in unison and made exaggerated expressions, which soon made the others laugh.

Kyle smiled and said, "Thank you, but you're overthinking it."

"Yeah." Cedric spread his hands and said, "If I could get a hundred Galleons for one detention, I would promise to show up in front of Filch on time every night."

Qiu and Kanna also nodded.

"Yes, that's right."

"Uh-huh……"

Just like Cedric said, with a hundred Galleons, confinement wouldn't be so unacceptable.

“What happened just now…” Fred was stunned for a moment, then he said angrily, “Okay, you dare to play tricks on me!”

Kyle shook his head and said, "Don't say that. I just didn't react."

This was the truth. He had never thought that Dumbledore would actually put them in detention for such a small matter.

That's not like him.

After they walked through the corridor where Professor McGonagall's office was, they separated and returned to their respective colleges.

Then at the dinner table that day, they received a note from Professor McGonagall.

[Your detention begins tonight at 11:00. Meet Mr Filch in the entrance hall.

——Professor McGonagall. 】

"When were you put in solitary confinement?"

Mikel next to him frowned and said, "Could it be that Professor McGonagall put the note in the wrong place?"

In his opinion, Kyle was the type of student who would never violate school rules, let alone be put in solitary confinement... How was this possible?

Kyle calmly put away the note and said, "You didn't send it to the wrong person. It's definitely mine."

"This..." Mikel thought for a moment and said uncertainly, "Could it be that you were caught while traveling at night... But wasn't it the Easter holiday at that time?"

Because he had to meet deadlines, Kyle was always busy until midnight during the last two days of the Easter holiday.

Kyle neither admitted nor denied it. He just patted his shoulder earnestly and said, "So, you must never go out at night in the future, even on holidays."

Mikel and Ryan shook their heads at the same time, as if they had a new understanding of the school rules of Hogwarts.

This is too strict.

At eleven o'clock that night, Kyle, Cedric and Connor came to the hall together. Filch was already waiting there, with the Weasley brothers and Cho beside him.

"Follow me," said Filch, lighting a lamp and leading them out.

"I think you should think twice before breaking the school rules again, right, huh?"

He squinted at the crowd and said, "But I think that hard work and suffering are the best teachers. It's a pity that they have abolished the old-fashioned punishment method... hanging your wrists and hanging you from the ceiling for several days..."

Filch's sinister voice made Qiu and Connor's faces turn pale, and even Cedric swallowed nervously.

However, Fred and George's expressions didn't change at all. They even turned around and made faces at the others when Filch wasn't paying attention.

They hear this kind of talk every few days, and their ears are almost callused.

"arrive."

After walking for a while, they stopped in front of a door. Filch took out the key, opened the door and said, "Go in, you are responsible for cleaning the trophy display room.

I really don't understand what Professor McGonagall is thinking, asking so many people to clean the trophy room... this punishment is too easy."

When they heard that they were just cleaning the trophy display room, Qiu and Kanna's faces regained some of their rosy complexion.

Everyone entered the room one after another, but something unexpected happened when it was Kyle's turn.

Filch stopped him and said expressionlessly, "Your punishment is not here."

Mrs. Norris was left here, and Filch took Kyle back to the hall and left the castle.

Filch made no further sarcastic remarks as the two of them strode across the dark grounds.

Kyle noticed that the road seemed to lead to the Forbidden Forest.

"Is that you, Filch? Come on, we have to get going."

Hagrid stood in the doorway of his hut and began waving at them from a distance.

"The Forbidden Forest is dangerous," Filch said suddenly. "You'd better not stay too far away from that idiot, otherwise those school rules you memorized won't save your life."

"I understand." Kyle nodded.

Filch acted as if he hadn't heard anything and continued walking forward.

"It's about time." Hagrid strode towards them from the darkness, with Fang following behind.

"Are you ready, Kyle?"

"I'll leave him to you, Hagrid," said Filch coldly. "I'll be back at daybreak. I hope it's not his remains that I'll see then."

"That's all for you." Hagrid frowned at Filch and said, "You don't have to come to pick him up. I'll take Kyle back to the castle when the time comes."

Filch glared at Hagrid, turned and walked towards the castle, and the lamp swayed and disappeared into the darkness.

"The annoying guy is finally gone, that old idiot."

Hagrid picked up his giant crossbow and quiver, winked at Kyle and said, "It's great to see you... Sorry, I'm not saying that your detention is a good thing, but with your help, tonight will probably go a lot more smoothly."

Kyle looked at the fully armed Hagrid and asked in confusion: "What happened in the Forbidden Forest?"

"A unicorn cub has been stolen. We have to go to the Forbidden Forest to look for clues."

Hagrid tightened the crossbow in his hand, his eyes full of anger. "If I knew who did it, I would never let him off!"
